The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"This seems to be the Two Realms Division Method of the Zhengyi Sect?" one of the elders guessed hesitantly.

There was no way around it. The Zhengyi Sect, one of the three major Daoist sects recognized by the current Great Qian Dynasty, was just an insignificant, or even third-rate, minor sect eight hundred years ago, when the cultivation atmosphere was at its peak. It might have some reputation, but it was only known in one place. It had few experts, and even fewer people knew about the lineage or the reputation of its spells. Naturally, it was difficult for these experts who participated in the great battle between good and evil to remember it.

Apart from the old man, everyone else had their brows furrowed and looked puzzled.

Clearly, they had never heard of the Zhengyi Dao sect.

"Who is this expert who is joking with me, Yin Yunzi? Please show yourself. If there is any misunderstanding, please clarify it in person." Yin Yunzi didn't care about anything else. Regardless of whether the opponent was using righteous magic or not, the fact that this method could separate her own sect's mountain gate from the outside world was enough to show that the other party had ill intentions. It would be better to call the person out to meet her first.

Chapter 539 Completion of Suppression

Heavenly Demon, Reborn as a Monk in Japan

"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding between us." Ishihara Akira's figure emerged from the void, looking down at Otoko and the others, and said calmly.

"Who are you, and why are you causing us trouble?" Yin Yunzi carefully examined Ishihara Sho for a while, and after confirming that the other party was indeed not someone she knew, she frowned and asked.

"What if I said I've fallen for a fairy?" Ishihara Akira chuckled.

"Then you could propose to me through normal channels and marry me in a proper ceremony. Why resort to coercing us in this way? Isn't that a bit too domineering?" Yin Yunzi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but she still retorted righteously.

"You actually believed me when I said I'd taken a liking to the fairy? Actually, I didn't even fancy her. After all, I don't even know what she looks like, so how could I possibly have feelings for her? On the contrary, you, Yin Yunzi, are still as charming as ever, like a ripe fruit, exuding a sweet and delicious aroma. Why don't you submit to me? As long as you submit to me, I'll immediately open the barrier and stop making things difficult for you." Ishihara Akira brazenly sized up Yin Yunzi in front of him, teasing her without any politeness.

It has to be said that cultivators, especially female cultivators, are all beautiful, and the higher their cultivation level, the more beautiful they become! They are many times more beautiful than so-called celebrities, goddesses, school beauties, and the like!

Most importantly, her body was very clean, unlike ordinary people whose skin pores could contain anything.

If he were still an ordinary person, he wouldn't be able to see those things, but at his level, certain abilities are almost solidified in his body. If he doesn't find a way to resolve this, the human world will truly be a filthy hell, and he doesn't want to stay there for even a moment longer.

No wonder those ancient practitioners loved to go to the mountains so often—

It is estimated that besides the tranquility and excellent environment of the mountains, which can avoid the disturbances of the secular world, it also allows one to stay away from people and avoid being influenced by worldly impurities, thus maintaining a pure mind and facilitating cultivation.

"How dare you!"

"presumptuous!"

After Ishihara Akira finished speaking, Otoko hadn't said anything yet. Although she was also furious, her chest heaving rapidly, she knew that Ishihara Akira was probably deliberately provoking her to achieve some goal. However, the elders beside her couldn't stand it. After all, Otoko was a well-known beauty in the righteous path back then, and she inevitably had admirers both inside and outside the sect. Now, hearing what Ishihara Akira said, they were like simps seeing their goddess being humiliated. They immediately became furious and even eager to take action.

If Ononko gives the order, these people will definitely be the vanguard in attacking Ishihara Sho.

"Don't you think it's going too far to joke about a woman?" Yin Yunzi forced a smile and asked, barely suppressing her anger.

"But I'm telling the truth, I really am attracted to you, Yin Yunzi, and I really want to pin you down and kiss you," Ishihara Akira continued teasingly.

"It seems you're not planning to settle this amicably with us." Yin Yunzi wasn't without temper; seeing Ishihara Sho's words, she could no longer hold back and spoke coldly.

"You just realized that?" Ishihara Akira laughed.

"Make your move!" Yin Yunzi shouted sharply.

Immediately, Yin Yunzi and everyone around her launched an attack on Ishihara Sho.

Various Taoist techniques, sound waves, and weapons all shot towards Ishihara Sho.

With a flick of his hand, Ishihara Sho conjured the Seven Treasures Tree, and with a single sweep, everything before him vanished without a trace—whether it was sonic attacks, magical effects, or weapons and magical artifacts.

It's very simple; they were all collected by Ishihara Sho.

These elders before him were not figures like the White Bone Scholar, Blood Shadow, or Heavenly Evil Child, who were at the peak of the sixth tribulation. When they truly unleashed their power, they could exert strength comparable to the Creator level and resist Ishihara Sho's realm suppression. A group of ghost immortals at the third or fourth tribulation, or even the first tribulation, were completely no match for Ishihara Sho. Therefore, no matter what kind of attacks or magic weapons they released, they could not withstand Ishihara Sho's sweeping attack.

Only Yin Yunzi, having accumulated enough experience, is a master who can become a creator upon leaving. Her attacks require Ishihara Sho to take her a little more seriously.

Unfortunately, the attacks she used, just like her Daoist name, were sonic spells, not magical artifacts. So even though they were a bit troublesome, they were still within Ishihara Sho's control, which is why Ishihara Sho was able to wipe them all out in one go.

Immediately, Otoko and the others' expressions changed, and they finally realized how difficult Ishihara Sho was to deal with.

Unfortunately, before they could prepare for another round of damage, Ishihara Akira flashed behind an elder and with a simple swipe, the elder disappeared into thin air.

Then there was another person...

Even with Otoko's intervention, she could only barely delay Ishihara Sho's speed in eliminating people, but she couldn't save all the elders. So, in just a moment, only Otoko and Ishihara Sho remained in the sky.

"Now, Otoko, are you willing to seriously consider my proposal?" Ishihara Sho said calmly, looking at Otoko, whose face was a little pale.

"You! Even if I die, I will never submit to you. Forget about it!" Yin Yun said angrily.

"That's a real pity. In that case, I'll have to be ruthless and destroy this flower first, and then I'll put my heart into your daughter, Fairy. I just heard that her beauty is the best in the entire righteous path. In addition, with her special identity and physique, I'm very curious about how much benefit I could gain if I could get her." Ishihara Akira, like a real villain, chuckled and sprinkled salt on Otoko.

Having said that, without waiting for Yin Yunzi to say anything more, he directly used a Celestial Leap to appear in front of her. The Chaos Bell appeared, and a single bell chime instantly annihilated the sound waves formed by Yin Yunzi's hasty fluctuations in the air. Then, it released a unique power that shook the universe and spacetime, and in conjunction with Ishihara Akira's manipulation, it directly entered Yin Yunzi's mind—

After that previous conversation, Yin Yunzi's mind had already developed vulnerabilities, to the point that he could control and influence her using demonic methods.

So, a moment later, when he appeared, Yin Yunzi was unsurprisingly absorbed into the Chaos Bell, thus completing the complete suppression of the Yin Yunzi sect's high-ranking members and experts.

Then, Ishihara Akira opened the gates, letting in Yun Xiangxiang, Xingmou, and the righteous experts he had forced to bring along the way, and began a comprehensive harvest of Yin Yunzi's sect.

……

Not long after, in the main hall of the Yin Yunzi sect, Shi Yuanzhang met the daughter of Yin Yunzi, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Great Thousand World in the original work. Fairy was personally escorted to Shi Yuanzhang by the experts of the Yaochi Sect in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm.

"A fairy indeed, as the rumors about you are true. Your beauty is truly one in a million." Ishihara Akira looked the fairy up and down, who exuded an otherworldly aura in terms of appearance, temperament, and figure.

Chapter 360 Continued Descending

Heavenly Demon, Reborn as a Monk in Japan

"So what if you have stunning looks? You're still a prisoner now, aren't you?" The fairy's expression remained unchanged, but her bright eyes seemed to see through people's hearts as she stared at Ishihara Sho, who was sitting in the main seat, and said in a low voice.

"That's only because you didn't resist. I can see that you are quite strong. Although you didn't survive the tribulation because of the Nine Abyss Divine Domain, you are still much stronger than the so-called elders I met before. You are almost comparable to your mother, Lian Yunzi, and Chen Xingzi. In other words, if you really wanted to leave, the people I sent wouldn't have been able to catch you at all. So I'm curious, why didn't you run?" Shi Yuanzhang straightened his posture slightly and looked at the fairy with curiosity.

"So what if I escape? Since you were able to bypass the prohibitions on Ancestral God Mountain and launch a surprise attack on our sect without alerting the other two sects, either you have a high-ranking traitor controlling the key, or the other sects that are on par with ours have already been attacked by you. In addition, with the people you brought... I have reason to suspect that the entire righteous path is now under your control. At this point, even if I can escape, where can I escape to?" the fairy retorted.

“You can go to the upper floor,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"The upper level? I should have realized it sooner. Since you were able to penetrate deep into the heart of the Despair Plains, you must have already fought with the Heavenly Emperor and opened up the path to the upper level. Unfortunately, I realized it a little too late." The fairy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Indeed, judging from what Shi Yuanzhang saw when he came down from the Endless Ocean, the only way for righteous people to leave the Plains of Despair is to go through the Palace of Eternal Hatred!

While the Palace of Eternal Hatred is easy to navigate, the Eternal Hatred Array, which is spread throughout the main area, is not so easy to break through!

Especially for a fairy who hasn't yet passed the tribulation and can unleash her full power, going there would only be like handing over a free meal, serving no purpose whatsoever.

Add to that the despairing aura that permeates the area outside the magic array...

To leave Ancestral God Mountain and enter the Endless Ocean, one needs powerful magical treasures like the Chaos Bell or the Creation Boat for protection.

"I've heard that you have a special constitution, containing a special true energy specially crafted by your father, Zheng Qi Zi. Anyone who can cultivate with you will gain many benefits. I'm going to give it a try. I wonder if you, fairy, would be willing to cooperate with me?" Shi Yuanzhang stood up, walked down from the high platform, and looked at the fairy in front of him who exuded classical beauty as he spoke softly.

"What can I do if I don't want to?" the fairy retorted.

“Then I guess I’ll have to go after your mother.” Ishihara Akira walked up to the fairy, looked her straight in the eyes and smiled.

The fairy frowned slightly, clearly very displeased with Ishihara Sho's answer.

But what's the use?

As the saying goes, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. As a prisoner, unless she resists and escapes immediately, she may not be able to keep her innocence!

Unfortunately, he missed the best time to fight back—before he was sent to Shi Yuanzhang. At that time, she only had people from the Yaochi Sect by her side. Although they were also ghost immortals, compared to her, a ghost immortal who could unleash six tribulations of lightning at her highest level, they were like children. She could easily deal with them.

But now, facing Ishihara Akane, a powerful enemy who could suppress her mother and even the entire Ancestral God Mountain, she no longer had that confidence.

That's why she hasn't put up any resistance until now.

"Since you are so devoted to the Great Dao, why make things difficult for us women?" The fairy sighed softly. She didn't do anything big, but somehow, everyone present, including Shi Yuanzhang and others, felt sorry for her, regardless of whether she was a woman or a woman. They couldn't help but feel pity for her and wanted to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

"As expected of a fairy, your manipulation of sound is truly unique. Even a simple sigh can easily stir one's heartstrings and shift one's emotions. I must say, fairy, in this aspect, you are countless times better than your mother, whose Taoist name is Yin Yunzi." Ishihara Akira looked at the fairy before him and chuckled, "Unfortunately, you've run into me..."

When it comes to controlling emotions, Ishihara Sho doesn't believe anyone or any power can compare to the Heavenly Demon.

The fairy didn't speak, but just stared at Ishihara Sho without expression.

Ishihara Akira laughed, then decisively took action, using the techniques of "Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm" and "Universe in the Sleeve" to imprison the fairy.

Although he has reached a level where he can control his desires and no longer has thoughts about beautiful women like ordinary people do—of course, ordinary people can only have thoughts, and as for putting them into practice, apart from a few people, they can only think about it.

For Ishihara Sho, realizing certain ideas was naturally an easy task, especially with the other party still in his hands. However, Ishihara Sho was not entirely a demon, so although his bottom line had become increasingly lower due to his gradual demonization, certain bottom lines and perceptions still existed.

For example, you can't force a woman's will...

It can't be too anti-human or anything like that.

So he really wouldn't do anything to a fairy just because of her beauty, just like he did with Yun Xiangxiang, he never did anything either.

But when he thought about the fairy's special physique, Ishihara Akira didn't want to give up and let him go so easily.

So I decided to keep her under my control for now and slowly cultivate our relationship. If that doesn't work, I'll use the reincarnation technique of the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Shattering Magic to forcibly create a marriage between us, and finally fulfill my wish to see what makes the fairy's constitution so special.

……

The sect that Yin Yunzi belonged to was also the last righteous sect that Shi Yuanzhang wanted to strike. So with the defeat of Yin Yunzi and others, all ninety-nine righteous sects were suppressed by Shi Yuanzhang. Their treasures and resources were looted, their inheritances were recorded, and even the Ancestral God Mountain, which was only slightly inferior to the King of Divine Artifacts, the Creation Boat, and the Eternal Kingdom, fell into Shi Yuanzhang's hands and became an important tool for him to strengthen the Chaos Bell later.

After a brief rest, Shi Yuanzhang released the leaders of the ninety-nine Daoist sects he had previously suppressed. He then took back the Heavenly Serpent King Xingmou, Fragrant Fox King Yuanfei, Silver Shark King Chanyinsha, Xin Yuxian, Qin Mengyao, Huang Yanyan, Zhao Feier, Zhao Feirong, Yao Qinghui, Yao Yueting, Yao Yueru, and Su Mu, who had been released to see the world. He then took the Yaochi Daoist members who had completely surrendered, and invited Yun Xiangxiang. He then controlled the Chaos Bell to descend into the eighth level of the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, the Cambrian Abyss.

Chapter 541 Ninth Floor

Heavenly Demon, Reborn as a Monk in Japan

After some investigation, Shi Yuanzhang learned that there were no treasures in the seventh, eighth, and even the final ninth levels of the Nine Abyss Divine Realm. There were only naturally formed killing formations, and the internal conditions were also very special. Therefore, hoping to find some ancient divine artifacts in the later levels was just wishful thinking.

In other words, having cleared the sixth level, Ishihara no Sho could have ended his journey in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, returned to the Great Qian World, and begun to await the tribulation, or go and cause trouble for the Essence Temple.

So why did Ishihara Yuki continue?

The reason is simple: the remains of the ancient giant monster Kong exist in the ninth level of the Realm of Immortality!

Of course, the remains are only what outsiders perceive. Ishihara Sho, who has read the original work, knows that Sora did not die at all. Instead, it was in a state of suspended animation, taking advantage of the special nature of the Immortal Realm—the characteristic that time stops flowing. As long as there is any disturbance around it, it can wake up from its slumber and once again show its boundless magnificence as an unparalleled giant demon.

In other words, if someone really comes here for the so-called empty remains, the end result will only be that they come up empty-handed, and they may even lose their life here.

Then why did Ishihara Sho still come?

This is because the Ninth Layer of the Realm of Immortality not only contains Kong's so-called remains, but also Kong's natal artifact, the Bodhi Tree, which he forged with a vast amount of resources and magical treasures after stealing from various sects and factions throughout the ancient world in ancient times. Its properties are comparable to the King of Divine Artifacts!

And the longevity fruit that he placed on the Bodhi Tree, which combines all his knowledge and the inheritance of the ancient longevity Daoist!
